Bohemond IV of Antioch (1175-1233) was Prince of Antioch from 1201 to 1216 (succeeding Bohemond III and preceding Raymond-Roupen) and from 1219 to 1233 (succeeding Raymond-Roupen and preceding Bohemond V).

Biography
Bohemond de Poitiers was the younger son of Prince Bohemond III of Antioch, and he was made Count of Tripoli by Raymond III of Tripoli in 1187. In 1201, upon the death of his father, he hurried to Antioch to claim the throne of the Principality of Antioch, receiving the backing of the Knights Templar, Knights Hospitaller, and the Italian burghers and forcing the nobles loyal to Raymond III's son Raymond-Roupen to flee to Cilicia. He allied with the Ayyubid emir az-Zahir and the Seljuk sultan Kaykaus I, who forced Raymond-Roupen's Armenian troops to retreat to Cilicia. Conflicts between Bohemond and the Latin Patriarch of Antioch led to Bohemond's deposition by Raymond-Roupen in 1216, but Bohemond regained the principality in 1219. After the death of Leo II of Armenia, Bohemond attempted to claim Cilicia for his younger son Philip of Antioch, but Philip was arrested in 1224 and murdered a year later, preventing Bohemond from conquering Armenia. Bohemond died in 1233.
